Has anyone noticed how occasionally the spreads quoted by Oanda jump up to a high value? For example, right at this moment, instead of the usual 1.5 pips on the Euro, they're quoting 10 pips, with similarly high values for other pairs. I've seen this happen before and after a while they drop back to their normal value. Now I know that spreads can widen with volatility, but this seems odd.
I like Oanda, but I'd be worried about opening a live account. If the spread suddenlt widens at a critical moment, I could be left seriously disadvantaged.
